Figure 1 shows a simple voltage divider using fixed resistors to illustrate its functionality. For this illustration, we assume that the resistors are connected in series, and all current flowing out of the 5V voltage source, flows directly through R1 into R2, and then back to the voltage source (no current detours out the V$$\large -5V + V_{R1} + V_{R2} = 0V$…
